Based on MikuMikuDance not Miku? I see.....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Unless they spend a lot of time in it. And use lots of complex add-ons there is no way it will match the quality of other animation softwares used by professionals. But it always is nice to see new ways of seeing anime being made.

I saw "Miku" in the title and was hoping for a Hatsune Miku anime.

Stupid me.

The robot in the center looks REALLY familiar...

Why on earth would you want another Vocaloid anime? Just look at how BRS turned out.

Anyway, I've come to hate CGI Mecha. They're terrible. What's up with this CGI crap these days.

Oh god no, using MMD for any serious animation project is horrifying. The clipping is horrible, and 90% of the animation made in it looks strange.

Also other than that those robot designs look generic and uninteresting. If this isn't a comedy this will probably turn out bad.

Seriously, I think it is a worthy project even though I am no robot fan and so probably won't watch it. Why it is not a useless project? Because it is yet one more step to explore what a CGI software like MikuMikuDance can do and how far it can go. So I'd say: Go for it ! It may succeed or it may fail, but the key thing is to try!

The idea strikes me as something that would feel perfectly normal as an independent production on a Youtube or Niconico channel. You could probably find hundreds of similar concepts. So all that's unusual (though it's a big "all") is that a TV station is giving it broadcast air time and investors think it warrants the costs.
This is what intrigues me. Got me wonder whether there is more to it than the usual youtube or niconico videos that amateur fans do all the time.

gdgd Fairies had some kind of composition? or scenario?!

BRS OVA is one of my favorite things ever. Skipped the TV series for reasons you can probably guess though.

The OVA came first though. So you actually didn't "skip" the TV series.

MMD Anime? Put Lat or Tda Miku and i will watch it with pop-corn in the hand. Too bad it's not about Miku.

On the other hand. i wonder what they will use. I saw some MMD PV's using MMDCup9 with some other softwares. They looks great. Wakamura and Thanks also have some great MMD PV's.

That Touhou video up there is great, but it's a year old. Hopefully, someone here has actually watched the newest from the mecha genre of MMDs on nicovideo. (Nicovideo apparently has English features now on the .jp website, so you can all at least get the jist of it on an economy account. Unfortunately, premium is unavailable, so you'll have to aim for the right time of day to get HD quality.) Those of you who aren't up for finding out what you're missing out on, you will probably get your youtube versions of MMDCup10 around February 20th or so.

MMDCup10 Exhibition Preview: MMD Adaptation of Armored Core

I can assure you more than half of those who have never heard of MMD would think this is the actual game. The full version is to be released on February 15th.

BeammanP's OP is already worth looking forward to.

15sec CM of the anime in question, though it's hard to tell whether it's comedy or not.
